In addition, the Oil Bible cited by Forty04 states that, in general, full synthetic oil will be better than petroleum-based and blend oils. This information, coupled with the low price of Walmart full synthetic, has made it my current motor oil of choice. I am unaware of a test result that indicates my choice was bad. If someone does, please let me know.

And again, we all have opinions, but I have used Fram filters for too many years to remember, never a problem, It has always been a question to me as to how Fram got such a bad rep. about the only problem I have ever had is that the gasket (on top of the filter) will sometimes stick to the engine when changing, and I am sure (I don't know) this happens with other filters as well. Fram has treated me very well, and would really like to see some sound documentation where Fram has let someone down. I take great pride in my vehicles . I do agree that if a synthetic is to be used, buy a good brand, but I see no purpose, unless you are going to run it 25K between changes, NOW! that is abuse, good discussion msn
